Apart from AA KK QQ JJ and maybe TT

what other hands do you feel play well.

I seriously feel (although the math might not support it) that shoving a hand like JTs has a better chance than AKs. just because it can make a straight from 7 to JACK all the way to an ace high straight.

maybe im wrong, but AK never works well for me when its time to shove. JT however seems to make the best hand a lot

just remember when your shoving at 10-15BB hands that are worse are going to call, so your AK is definately a shoving hand, because your either flipping or dominating, only 2 hands can dominate you, now as for J 10, yes shove it, as long as your opponent doesnt have A J, A 10, or 10s+ then your in prety good shape, Ax<10 which can happen when your short stacked, then your 50 50
A Q + then your behind but not in completely badshape 40% to be exact, definately not bad when your lookin for your double up

personally if im short ,ill shove any pocket pair above 66. TJ is not my favortie shoving hand,nor calling a shove hand. Its just a hand you wanna see a cheap flop with and throw away if u dont connect.

AK>JT all day every day.

I would be happy about getting dealt AK in this situation. AK is never a underdog vs. anything except AA, even against KK we have 30 % or something. We flip in many cases, dominate all Kings and other Aces.
